I got the soundtrack off the net after watching the episode. Brilliant stuff.. before you call me a heartless thief (I got the first 3 seasons on dvd). Just call me thief.. not "heartless thief"
I too was disappointed; Rumour has it that Verhoven has plans for a "real" sequel to his first robocop movie.. and lets face it: A violent cynical social criticism is what makes for a good robocop movie. The sappy sequel had its moments (The prototypes etc).. but the third movie.. gah.
It's been said before, but I think it's important to stress the necessity of a pay per content / service model.
Most classical online ads; whether banners or popups don't pay off, and while some people still live with the mindset of free information for all, there's a limit to the quality and quantity you can produce without profits.
A feasible business model:
It's necessary to reorganize and produce quality information in such a way that it separates itself from the bulk and becomes valuable. When you do that, you can charge people for it - and you'll need to, because quality content requires professionals [whether journalists, consultants, counselors, programmers etc. ].
What about ads?
I used to be doing online adverts, and while advertising won't disappear, I am convinced that it will change it's nature, moving towards an interval-between-content model like the one we have on TV. As a user you'll be able to pay to avoid them in available subscription packages:
As web-content becomes more media intensive, in terms of streaming - I suspect we will see complex interactive adverts targeted at users based on profiles. I foresee "pay-per-view" media-service packages that range from the-premium-no-ads-in-movies, news, games-offer, to "free" content with ad-intervals.
What are your thoughts on/experiences with current e-payment models? (paypal, micropayments etc).
As an entrepreneur, I'd appreciate any info.
Finally - to quote the blues brothers:
What do ya want for nothing? Rubber buiscuit?
Well, I thought I'd better easy you into slashdot. Corrections and geek-squabbles run rampant here and I thought I'd soften the first blow by uhm.. using my own hand (does that even make sense?):P

Good morning generic bank-guy.
That's right; I need a loan

Well said - er.. written.
You're all missing the point:
It looks cool and futuristic (despite it's age)
This was my visual idea of 21 century warfare, you insensitive clod.
THRILL at its seductive mistresses of mayhem!
MARVEL at the wonders of the future!
EXPERIENCE the mysteries of the forgotten planet.
Our biggest threat came from our very own solar system.

Did anyone anyone think cheap sci-fi feature when reading the heading?

Yes - I knew my l337 skillz would come to good use eventually. 'I frag purely to save the world and impress the chicks'

It's a cow, in the book. Even though the thing in the tv series resembles a pig. It says something along the lines of:
:D.. but yes, give us a white Ford Prefect.
